Great restaurant offering well crafted Portuguese dishes with a creative touch. Good selection of Portuguese wines and a very affable staff.
This place is wonderful! Nuno is the best host ever. The bolinhos de bacalhau were perfect — the right balance between cod fish and potato. The presentation of the Portuguese chorizo is beautiful. And the arroz de mariscos is to die for — the sauce has all the right spices, including saffron and just enough kick to make you want more. Last but not least the pastel de nata (served warm!) is as good as the best I have eaten in Portugal. Oh, they also have a great selection of Portuguese wine. This is a great find and I will definitely come back.
I love the place. This is a top notch restaurant/bar in the west village. We really made a good choice going there. The food was so good, the drinks amazing and the service was great. The staff were very friendly. They seemed to know all the customers. They were calling them by their name. Good food, great drinks and nice staff. Honestly we couldn’t ask for any more. We will definitely be back soon!
Very nice place to have brunch dinner or even a drink.Everything there are delicious. People are friendly and helpful! Nice job!
If you have not been, please go! Amazing food and service, and we had a fun time . It reminds me of my trip to Lisbon. Natas were very good, shrimp,piri piri chicken…. All very tasty. One of my favorite restaurants in the area.
The absolute nicest wait staff and best cocktails. Their food is really good too! Definitely try their dirty martinis.
Its a hidden gem . Great staff and great food. The owner was so friendly and their suggestion were spot on! The owner uses his family recipes passes down from generation to generation.
Went there with a party of 8. They served 6 of us while the other two people’s orders arrived well after the first 6 people had *finished* eating. We were not given a heads up of the time difference these dishes would take—when asked about it, the waiter merely said it was still coming. Service is good and well-intentioned but maybe they don’t know how to communicate these type of relevant information. Quality of food is good but a little overpriced.
Leitao serves traditional Portuguese dishes with a extra blast of flavor that makes it even better than having it back home. This place is a must try if you’re in the area. There’s great Portuguese wine and beer to enjoy with the food and the team running this place makes you want to keep coming back!
My fiancé and I wandered over here after looking for a great place to get dinner when we were done with our evening at Little Island a few weeks ago.We got to Leitao and were seated inside by the window. Apparently the kitchen was closing and, since the restaurant was short-staffed, our orders weren’t taken before that occurred (despite being seated before the kitchen closed).However, the owner was very kind and made sure that we got to eat a meal, and I am so, so appreciative of his effort to make the situation right.I got the Sandes de Polvo (grilled octopus) and my fiancé got Prego no Pao. Both were excellent, and I would certainly recommend giving them a visit!
Excellent Portuguese food, very sensibly priced wine list, buzzy, with warm and accommodating staff. Only small downsides were that they were out of a number of dishes on our visit, and theyd benefit from some Madeira on the menu (though I appreciate I seem to be in the minority who drink it), but these were trifling in light of how enjoyable a time it was; the dishes we received instead were fantastic, and their Tawny port still a great showcase of Portuguese fortified wines.Well certainly be back!
Leitao has delicious food and generous portions! The staff is also very friendly and warm. We had an issue with our food taking a long time (Friday night busy-ness, plus one of the kitchens ovens broke that night, then they sent half our apps to the wrong table). But the owner/manager was extremely apologetic/nice about it, and he took care of us to make things right. Bad luck/hectic day, I get it, it happens -- I would definitely give them another shot and come back!
Wow, excellent place.The food was fantastic!!!! First time coming to this place. The team is very Professional and very attentive. Great experience and very recommended.
Reservation for 13 people which they hit out of the park (outdoor seating). The service was great and friendly. Everyone in our party loved the food. The piri piri chicken will change your life (🔥). Highly recommended. Honestly my group is loud they did a great job to accommodate.
Such a cool spot, great service and fantastic cocktails, bartender Jeff made great old fashioned, just perfect for my taste!
I thoroughly loved the pulpo salad and the clam dish. They were actually a lot better than the one I had in Portugal where they just give you the pulpo only with no salad.
We had drinks and dinner in the outdoor seating. The food was excellent. Drinks were delicious. And cannot say enough praise for the staff. All were very friendly and attentive!
Wonderful dishes generous portions! Our waiter was super helpful. will come back for sure. The shrimp in lobster sauce was a-ma-zing!
Chicken was super dry, francecinha sauce needs more flavor, but octopus salad and pasteis de bacalao were amazing. And pasteis de nata are a must on your visit.
This was a complete disaster. We were seated fairly quickly but waited for 13 min at our table and no one came by to take drink orders or anything, or even looked at our table- which was in the front window of the restaurant. So we left. And I doubt anyone even noticed. Does this restaurant have a host? At least 15 people came in while we waited and were left wondering what was going on.
Leitao is a fantastic restaurant. The food is delicious and portions are generous. My favorite are the peri peri chicken and the francesinha. The service here is fantastic as well - the manager and wait staff are kind and show passion for what they do. When we had one small issue with our order, they made it a point to fix it right away. I’ll be back here for sure.Thank you for a great experience!
Really great ambiance.The staff was super great. Both the chicken and the fish was a little bland but I saw other things being brought out that looked better. The wine list was a total rip off. The rose is really a cheap red wine with 11% alcohol which they sell as this super organic invention when in reality it is a $12 bottle of wine which they are charging $70 for. The actual translation on the bottle says red wine. That part sucked but I think I just ordered wrong.
Leitao is an amazing Portuguese hub away from Portugal. It has the best food, drinks and service. Shout out to Nuno who is an amazing owner and really makes Leitao feel like home for us transplants.
Sadly we have become cynical New Yorkers about the local restaurants. However, we have just discovered a gem in the west village. The food is creative, delicious and soulful. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. We had the best meal we have had in NYC in months. We ordered the sausage and the arroz de mariscos, and both were absolutely delicious.We live in the UWS and the food in our neighborhood has become boring (and tasteless)! The trip to the west village is worth the time and energy (and the price of a Citibike). We know we will be back!Thank God (and Nuno) good food still exists in Manhattan! Our cynicism shank a bit today!
Great place,took my wife for her birthday.She is Portuguese and has been trying to find a place to take her parents. The gentleman named Nuno I believe was great and very attentive,he made sure the staff was helpful with all the diners.I had the clams with chorizo which was excellent and the broth was amazing.She had the garlic shrimp which she enjoyed.We had Piri Piri chicken which was good and she truly enjoyed the Cod with chips.We will definitely be back with her parents.
Popped by for drinks and ended up staying for dinner. The wait staff were all Portuguese and were very hospitable, even giving us complimentary tawny port after our meal. We ordered the Bolinhos de Bacalhau (cod croquettes), Salad de Polvo (octopus salad) and Caracois (escargot), all of which were delicious.
In a neighborhood with a lot of top notch restaurants, Leitao stands out for me. The food is amazing, the staff (especially Nuno) are super nice and accommodating, and the drinks are great!
Incredible servers and owners who always make you feel at home. Love their cocktails & meatballs! their meatballs are a MUST!
Amazing Portuguese food, service is great. You don’t get rushed at all here it almost feels like a relaxed European vibe. Love the peri peri chicken and the Pasteis!
Starting to be our regular place. Every dish is exquisite and the staff is super friendly. This time we had Negroni and Fumo Branco; Sandes de Leitao and Lamb Burger; and our usual Pasteis de Nata dessert that is nothing but usual. ❤️
Awesome place, excellent food and impeccable service. Drinks are fantastic. Thanks for such a great experience Nunu and team!!!
Overall decent place.The food was authentic, but was a little limited and excluded many popular and regular dishes. Severely lacking in Portuguese drinks (all they had was Super Bock).I still give it 4 stars because the food was delicious and the waiters/staff were very friendly and inviting.
Id give this place a 10/5 if I could. Bacalhau is top notch, prepared well with quality ingredients. Pasteis de nata to die for as well!The place is reasonably priced and cocktails were good too.
Amazing food! This is an amazing Portuguese no freels place to eat. For starters, we had the bolinho de bacalhau, amazing cod fish dumplings. The cabrito (lamb), the francesinha (french inspired sandwich - much like Portuguese croque monsier) and the arroz de marisco (risoto like sea food dish) are the high point of the food experience. For drinks, there is an extensive Portuguese drinks menu, but Porto Tonic is the best one! For dessert, the pastel de nata is amazing, you cant go wrong. If you pair them with Porto wine, then you get yourself all the way to Portugal. I went there for the food, but I was surprised to see a real club like feel on the way out. Young people talking and having fun while drinking and eating decent stuff was a must. You wont regret coming here
Authentic and honest Portuguese food. Excellent service and friendly staff.
Great food, good service and you can’t beat a flaming sausage
Really digging this place! Good music, good beers, happy hour deals everyday of the week and even during weekend, nice service, great ambiance, whats not to like? Will come back for sure!
Great food and drinks. Awesome atmosphere and friendly staff. The Francesinha was amazing and the fries too.
Amazing restaurant with the greatest Portuguese food. Perfect drinks. Friendly staff. Coming back often! Obrigado!
Delicious is an understatement. Environment, Food, Hospitality, and servicer all an A+. Will definitely be back.
Last Sunday my daughter was visiting New York from Penn State, Harrisburg and she was so excited that she found a Portuguese restaurant near by! She and her friend went and had a Francesinha, they liked, yet the service was very disappointing!!! After they brought the food to the table, the waiter never returned to the table again! She had to call someone to give her the bill!!!
A must go! Incredibly flavorful food! Must order: burrata/piri piri chicken / garlic shrimp!!
Everything was amazing! The food & drinks were delicious. We started with the clam appetizer, which was flavorful and delicious. Our server recommended Chicken Piri Piri and 2 of us got it. It was delicious. The chicken was so juicy and the sauce was flavorful with a little kick to it. We finished with pasteis de nata which was freshly baked, mmmmmm. I plan on returning.
Loved every minute of it from the friendly wait staff to the delicious, fresh food! I will be back soon!
Excellent food and service! We had the chicken piri piri, lamb chops and pastel de nata, absolutely delicious.
Absolutely incredible. Best chicken Ive ever had in my entire life.
One of the best places in the city for great food and terrific ambience! Its both a great place for a Saturday night or a Tuesday afternoon!The servings are generous and delicious!Enjoy!
Exceptional spot in NY! We did not have reservations, but we called ahead and they were able to accommodate us! Andy, our server, was great! Very knowledgeable about the menu. Nuno was friendly and welcoming. Cocktails were very tasty! The food was incredible! We will be back for more!Julia, Oscar, Fernando, & Fatima
I absolutely love this place. Delicious food. Wonderful staff. Wide variety of drinks – from well-crafted cocktails to ports and tons of beer options. Just a great vibe all around as well. For seafood lovers, the clam appetizer is a must. The lamb burger is also a standout. But really you can’t go wrong with this menu. Always worth the wait. 💯
Great place for craft beer in NYC, really. The food menu is not extensive, but the options are decent and you will not go hungry here. The beer selection is respectable and the draft list changes often.
Finally authentic quality Portuguese food!! The service was great, really enjoyed their outdoor seating area, and the food was deliciously satisfying! The Pasteis de Natas here were by far the best Ive had in NYC and just as good as the ones Ive had all around Portugal as well!
Nice place! Food was great! The irish mule was good! Good service!
Leitao has the best cocktails in the city. The espresso martini and passion fruit drink are awesome!
Outdoor dining experience: I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and pleasant outdoor dining area. Theres lots of heaters and piped in music to make it quite comfortable. It got so warm, that we even had to request a few heaters to be turned off, which they nicely accommodated. The food and drinks were good -- standard WV pricing, which is on the pricier side. We shared many plates, which seems like the best thing to do for a group. It did take a while to receive our food, but understandable given how crowded it was. Oh, and get the pastéis de natas (custard tarts)! FYI: you can make a reservations specifically for the outdoor space, but it requires a refundable deposit.
Great beer, varied tap list, friendly staff, sports on the television, tasty food. This place is perfect.
Really friendly service and the food was amazing! We got the grilled octopus- which is often hit or miss, but here it was on point.
Everything was excellent - food, ambiance and service. Nuno is also a great host. Will definitely come back.
Super loud painful music (Apple Watch measured it at 103 decibels - which is equivalent to a jet aircraft flying 100 ft above you) and cramped during their evening bar service. Design was cool though and I’d be interested in seeing what this place is like for a dinner service given some of the other reviews about their food.
Always amazing! You can’t go wrong at this place, 100% recommend!
Best beer bar in the village and the guys that run this place are seriously pro and super nice. This place has been through a lot of changes through the years for better and for worse, this may be its finest incarnation yet. Wasnt sure about Portuguese food when they first took over but everything on the menu is delicious and interesting. I highly recommend this place if you want a great craft beer selection, good food and friendly service.
Great service. Delicious food. Wonderful patio seating.
This place is top notch. From the service to the food, everything was amazing. Despite having to wait a long time for a table (not their fault at all), they made sure we were taken care of and served quickly. Love this place and with for sure be back on a frequent basis
So good! Food and drinks and atmosphere :)
I love this place. Even though the food is a bit spicy for me its delicious and flavorful. The host is always very friendly and welcoming to the place. Their Nata is something you should definitely try if you love sweets.
I grew up in Louisiana (the place where everyone says Oh, Ive always wanted to try the food from there, I hear its amazing), and I honestly dont know if Ive ever had food THIS flavorful. Its simply SPECTACULAR! Its spicy, but no so much to be *just* spicy. Its the ideal amount to add great flavor to a dish without overpowering the main flavor, and not to mention everything is cooked to perfection. I ordered the chicken piri and that chicken was the juiciest meat Ive had in my entire life. Im writing this review a few weeks after I ate there, and I still think about that meal at least every couple days.Im not even a big fan of clams, but when the chef, Nuno, brought us out a bowl of the Ameijoas em Caldeirada, my brother and I ate every drop we could and then took the rest home because we were not about to waste ANY of this exquisite cooking.And if the cooking werent good enough reason alone (and trust me, it is), Nuno himself was often conversing with tables and greeted several people by name. I wouldve happily eaten here with someone yelling at me the entire time, but the friendliness just takes it a step beyond anywhere Ive ever eaten.If you live in NYC and this isnt on your list of frequented restaurants, youre missing out BIG time.
Nice bar and restaurant. Good selection of draft and even better selection of bottle/cans. Cozy atmosphere for solo travelers as well as small groups.
Awesome Portuguese gem in the West Village. Fantastic beer and wine lists, and cocktails. Great menu filled with Portuguese classics. We sat outside and felt very comfortable under the heat lamps, which were much appreciated in 40 degree weather.
Great craft beer selection on a rotating basis with good coverage of different beer styles (have you noticed recently a lot of places dont have stouts or porters, whats the deal with that?). Nice to see some thought put into the selection, there are some good IPA and Lager choices, but some others as well. And always a few farmhouse styles.The food here is a bit upscale pub grub and the service is usually very good (I havent had any bad experiences). Friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable.
I visited Porto in Nov 19 and I have been thinking about its amazing food and people evsr since. This restaurant satisfies my desire for great portuguese food and the even better people.Truly a gem of a restaurant.I had the Francesinha which was somehow better then the one I had in Porto and the clams were so good we needed double bread for the sauce. And the pasties de nata were somehow THE BEST PART. So freaking good. I visited a week ago and Im already planning to come back.
I dont usually leave reviews, but this place really deserves five stars and some good words... How does a place survive under covid restrictions? Do exactly as Upright. Excellent and very friendly service, beyond delicious Portuguese dishes - octopus, chicken Piri Piri, Arroz de Marisco (like a paella)...meatballs, great sandwiches, and the beer selection is wide and good. *(Was really happy one time when two different staff who knew I like dark lagers were eager to tell me about their new acquisition.) And then theres the atmosphere. Its outside and they did it right. Well-heated even though still almost open air, a good number of tables, great clientele... I always leave there with a big smile.
Great place with friendly staff. We usually swap a beer so we can try different brews and I thought they gave us the wrong beer after the swap. I asked if I was drinking what we ordered and they just handed us the correct one without being difficult about us already drinking over half of the wrong one. The beer selection is great too.
Amazing spot in the West Village! I’m a regular because the food is delicious and the vibe is spot on for weekend or weeknight dinner and drinks. They have a great COVID set up and super warm outdoor tables. The owner is amazing, so accommodating and such a cool guy!Definitely order the chicken, octopus, Francesinha (meat sandwich), and nata (custard tart) for dessert. So delicious!A total must try. Do yourself a favor and stop by!
Delicious. Every single thing we ate was exceptional
I visited Upright Brew House on a Tuesday with a couple of friends based on another friends recommendation. Place was fairly busy considering it was a Tuesday and the bar is relatively new. They have a full beer list and the bartenders were knowledgeable on what they were selling. The decor was really refreshing, simple and clean and the food was great overall. Pricing was reasonable as well. Would definitely go back there.
Food and atmosphere is great, nice craft🍻 selection, a little pricey when not happy hour but thats NY for ya.
This place had a great happy hour and craft beer selection. They have pretty obscure beers that Ive never even heard of. Their happy hour is until 7pm. You can get $2 off drafts and wine so its like $6-$7 for a beer. Also, they have $5 appetizers during happy hour as well. I recommend the half dozen wings for $5. Theyre actually pretty large and come with celery/carrot sticks. Its a good deal.
Where to start?! As a beer lover, great beer menu, the short(for covid times) menu offers a great variety for its brevity, and all the dishes I had were outstanding. Quick shout out to the masked staff, great service and really friendly.
Great time had by all. Fantastic array of beer and wine choices. Prices are what you would expect for the area. Staff is attentive and very knowledgeable. Eclectic dive bar feel with better than average bar foods and drinks. Worth your time to give it a try.
Attended Happy Hour on a Sunday, which is daily from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., and includes $2 off drinks and appetizers. Has an excellent and wide-ranging beer selection, but also a decent amount of wines and bottles. We ate the Nachos, Pickles, Burger, and BLT. Basically good bar food, and a nice place to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Great spot for a date night for craft beer lovers. If that makes any sense. It has great, clean, slightly romantic ambiance, as well as a very crafty beer selection. So go for a date, or just hang at the bar for after-work drinks. If youre new to craft beer, the staff is quick with suggestions and tastes.
Everything is great. If you ask for the most amount of cheese possible you WILL get. Oh yeah and the drinks are good.
I came in for post-dinner drinks and had some craft beers. The price for the beers are reasonable, averaging at $8. The venue is cozy and comfortable. The bartender (Julian) was very friendly. The crowd was not douchey. Definitely a nice place in the West Village to just relax for a few brews.
This is by far the best portuguese place in the area! everything is delicious and authentic, and all the dishes are hand-picked, perfected favorites of portuguese cuisine. a hidden gem that is sure to be not so hidden anymore! recommend the francesinha, the best you can get outside porto
Great food, great drinks, great vibe, what more can you want?
For some reason this place has been checked out twice by my friends and me in a matter of 10 days. The bar/restaurant is great for those casual nights out and you want good beer, decent wine selection, a little more than bar food and coffee drinks. Yes, it sounds like a tall order, but Upright Brew perfectly fits the bill. We came here on Halloween night (a Thursday) and it was loud yet festive. Our last visit here was on a Saturday night and again it was perfect. Lots of people going in and out of this place as well a great draft selection to keep us all happy. The folks working here are friendly and service may be slow at times, but they’re more than willing to make up for any disappointments. PS – I’m a huge fan of any place that serves up truffle popcorn!
Not a huge beer fan, so Im judging on the atmosphere and vibe, which for a low-key Friday night was pretty good. Steady crowd and not too packed (we got there at 9:30 and snagged the last open seat at the bar). Casual bar food is simple but good. Wine - not so good, but whos going there for that.
Unique bar / restaurant along Hudson Street in the West Village that offers good coffee (although is not open in the morning), solid beers on tap (but many more craft beers in can / bottle), and a pretty good food selection (mostly bar food, but good bar food). The space is pretty narrow with most seating at the bar itself and then some small tables in the back. Also a few tables outside which are nice in the summer months.
Excellent spot for craft beer and bar food. Bartenders are very knowledgeable about beer and the beer list is excellent. No problem to sit at the bar at prime time on a Saturday night, which is really a shame. Leave The Spotted Pig to the tourists and scenesters and come here instead!
My husband and I went to Upright leitao on a big NYC adventure! We first went to the Whitney Museum, then to another restaraunt for lunch. We topped off our afternoon by going to Upright Leitao to have a cocktail, enjoy delicious little neck clams and eat the INCREDIBLE Francesinha. The service was spectacular, the waiter even explained the history of the francesinha. Overall a must visit when you are in nyc!
Great beer selection and happy hour deals on both alcohol and appetizers!
Charming bar, great beers, nice place to hang out with friends - not so loud and lively at the same time.
Worst attitude and service in the Village. There’s not host to indicate whether tables are for dinner or drinks. We were asked to leave our table to “diners” though there was no one waiting to seat. Total disorganization. Horrible attitude. What killed us is that we were looking for a easy going cozy bar to celebrate a reunion, so we were ready to consume a lot of beers. Too bad losing potential and loyal clients out of pettiness.
Upright is a great little unpretentious coffee shop and craft beer bar. The beer selection is awesome and features some little known delicacies from the area and is always rotating. They tend to be on the heavier, high IBU side with many IPAs, but the selection is large enough to find something for any palate. The service was also pretty good and mostly out of the way. Great new addition to the area which is more cocktail heavy.
This is my new favourite, hidden gem of a bar-and-coffee-shop in the West Village. Its not too busy yet because not too many people know about it... great selection of beer on tap, pinball machines in the basement, and very friendly staff! And the coffee during the day is delicious.
When its cold outside, the layout makes things quite claustrophobic near the bar. Conditions are much better, however, during the summer when the patio is available. Decent brunch menu w/ a smart, curated set of beer options.
I wasnt aware that there was such a great beer bar in the area until I went with a coworker. The selection is pretty awesome and prices arent bad either. We went around 10 on a Friday and the place had a decent size crowd. I would definitely recommend it for a date or a couple pints with a friend.
The equation for the most perfect hipster bar. Amazing espresso brewed in the morning and a great selection of craft beer the rest of the day. It can get very crowded and loud on some nights, but the perfect respite is the little known (small) basement containing 4 pinball machines. Have never eaten here, but have heard good things.
Really good appetizers and drinks. The vibe is chill.
Very good place for dinner.
The worst customer experience! Waiter was extremely rude and unprofessional! I went there with my girlfriend and asked for a lager beer. He brought can beer, when I said Im not gonna drink this and I want a draft beer the guy said that he doesnt have and if i wanted a draft beer I shouldve said. I guess its not a rocket science that I dont want to drink a can beer when Im going to pub. I think that when you call your place a Brew House you should be more professional and have a respect for your customers.
It was a nice experience in this small but great brewery. Had great IPA made in house. Had no time to taste menu for eat, so it was quick in and out. Recommended! Thanks
Visited this place yesterday for a work dinner. The beer selection was great: tons of rare bottled beers with a decent draft selection. But the best was the food: I had the crusted salmon and, OMG, it was *amazing*.
Met Nuno and had his amazing Francesinha - it was the most amazing sandwich and sauce I’ve ever had in my entire years of living. I’ve been to Portugal and Nuno’s food here in New York tops a majority of the food I had when I was in Portugal. He is an amazing chef with a positive attitude and major love for food. Thank you for everything!
Excellent selection of beer, but really expensive. Come during happy hour before 7pm for almost-reasonable prices. Grilled cheese was delicious and huge. Surprisingly quiet and spacious.
Such great beer selection. The bartenders are really friendly and happy to give you suggestions too. Front area has an outdoor seating area with about six tables and some heat lamps too.
Good choices of beers and other drinks plus friendly environment. Enjoyed our short stop over there.
Steak is fantastic and a great deal for $20. I also really really like the salmon. They dont want it to be too expensive, but they only get the highest quality for salmon. Therefore you get a small piece. Chickpea side with the salmon isnt great. Beer selection is on point.
If youre going to get an $8 beer somewhere, this is a great spot to do it. Well curated selection of delicious beer (theyll let you sample them if you want to try something a bit more different), and cocktails looked good too!
All I can say is best buffalo wings in all of NYC! Even better when you go during happy hour and get 6 wings for $10.The craft beer balances the wings and makes a perfect combo. Highly recommend for a quick beer & bite.
Great beer and service. Food hits the spot as well. Got the Francesinha and it was delicious, despite putting me into a food coma. Would go back and do it all over again.
Good spot for craft beer in the West Village. Usually have an excellent selection of local beers. Great Happy Hour specials. Love the design on the wall and the ceiling in the back.
Great spot to hit up in a great neighborhood. Huge selection of bottle beers, and always a really good selection of ones on tap. Fair State Pahlay ‘ahlay, Finback Latte, and TRVE Solid Hex were just a few of those mentioned. Chicken Wings are always a good choice, and a cheese board featuring the local favorite Murray’s NYC is a smart call.
Great spot for happy hour, they have deals on food and drinks. Fantastic craft beer selection. Now they have draft cocktails top, as well as wine.
The hanger steak was grilled to perfection. Seasoned just right so it was flavorful and juicy. The accompanying salad was lightly dressed and fresh.Since the weather was accommodating, the table outside was a delightful way to enjoy the meal and the service. Ill be back.
Amazing food and the best service Ive had in New York. The cocktails arent the main attraction here.
One of our favorite bars in the city!
Their Burrata salad and Octopus sandwich is out of this world tasty. Their craft beer options are top notch too. Highly recommend!
A friendly staff and warm atmosphere make this coffee and beer establishment a great place to unwind, meet friends or kill time.Sporting an eclectic and quality selection or beers, the food menu of burgers, wings, fries and sandwiches pair excellently. And if youre not sure what to drink, definitely ask your bartender and theyll put you on the right path.
One of my absolute favorite beer and wine spots in lower Manhattan! Staff is kind and tentative. Great environment
Excellent beer selection. No spirits (which is okay but be warned). Good bar food. The place was way, way too loud though which is a shame because Id have stuck around longer.
I had the Francesinha and it was awesome! Brings me back to Portugal with every bite.
Really cute place with good drinks, but staff could be much more attentive.
Very cute bar. Some tables and space in the back. Good atmosphere and fun playlists, and not so loud we couldn’t hear a conversation amongst one another til midnight
Incredible food and great vibe!
Great relaxed place to have really good beer and amazing food. Everyone is friendly and willing to help you have a great time.The place is small and that could be a problem if coming with a group.
Great place! Delicious food, wonderful staff, cool spot for drinks. A place to go again and again.
Brunchtacular craft beer spot in the west village with outdoor sidewalk seating. The cozy bar vibe inside means great winter eats over a pint. The mild heat lamps extend the sidewalk patio into the colder months. I highly recommend the C.B.L.T. (bacon, lettuce and truffle mayo on a croissaint) with the French fries. Light and delicious, yet filling. The tea is high quality and served at the perfect temperature, but I would have liked a hot water refill. Five stars though (vs four) because the waiter was so sweet to a group with a dog who was allowed to keep their pup with them at the table on the patio. Dog-friendly is always a win in my book.
Upright / Leitao is fantastic. Great beer selection, great Portugese food with the best pasteis de nata Ive had stateside, and a very friendly staff.
This is by far the best restaurant in NYC. Amazing ambience, serving is perfect and the food quality is just unbeatable.
Great beer bar (rotating list of 20 or so on tap). And coffee during the day. Truffle popcorn is worth it.They used to have pinball machines downstairs...
Great place!Outside patio is perfectly made and it’s not cold. Great atmosphere and good service.Will definitely come back.
The best restaurant in manhattan.
Really nice selection of Portuguese food.
Didn t know what beer to order and they offered us some shots to try in order to help us to decide. The burgers were really good and the location perfect with a terrace in the sidewalk.
Lovely and friendly bar with a good range of beers. It was our last port of call before heading back to the UK and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Until Upright came along Hudson was sadly without a decent place to get good coffee. Now we have on of the best in the Village, if not the city. The stand out is actually the staff - they are all a breath of fresh air and totally make my morning. Thanks guys!
Ordered one sour IPA and an Imperial IPA (13% alcohol and made with coconut), both were very pleasant. Got the window seating, which was quite cozy.
Puzzled by a new bar in the neighborhood. Inexperience bar help. No sense of the context of the neighborhood. Might be a better fit in younger hipster Brooklyn than in the staid West Village. Will not last long......
The food is outstanding, but the service is even better. The friendly staff treated our group like family. No one left hungry.
Excellent food and even better service! Had the Cod Croquettes and the Chicken Piri Piri both were amazing!
Nice selection of beers. Very friendly staff. Quiet enough to have conversation. I recommend going there during the Happy hour.
You can reserve the basement space for free for group gatherings! You just have to order all food/drinks at the bar, no service in the basement, but there’s plenty of space for 20-30 people and high top tables.
Awesome beer selection, excellent food, and exceptional happy hour deals. One of my favorite beer destinations in the city.
Great craft beer menu. 12 beers on tap, and at least 70 others in bottles and cans, most of which I havent had yet.
Great beer and lovely bar good service and get the beer bread its great. Did I mention the good range of locally brewed beer? I should.
Great beers and solid food too. only downside is its small and gets very packed in the evening. it can be tough to get a table or space at the bar.
The food, the vibe, the drinks. All so great and fun. Like a trip back to Portugal!
Great service, delicious cocktails, wide variety in the menu
Only had a nice post dinner drink here. Big beer selection. Sat outside which is a nice spot for outdoor seating.
Upright bar is a great place after Thanksgiving. Nice place to grab a drink after the holidays. Good drinks with good people!
Good food and good beer selection, but despite the description this is a craft beer pub and not in any way a brew pub since they dont brew their own beer
Good selection of beers and tasty bites. The patio is small and chairs are tiny but its a good afternoon spot.
Loved this place: small, but great range of potent beers and a friendly and attentive waitress. Good nachos too!
The staff was super friendly! And great beer selection, we will be back :)
Great place with a good selection of craft beers
Solid beer choice. In an area that seems to prefer am ambience over substance. If youre looking for a solid beer in the area - you wont go wrong.
Great food and fun atmosphere. Staff are really friendly.
Awesome beer list, nothing corporate, all from local nano breweries. Food was good, but beer is the star here.
Food was delicious! Their hummus and pita bread is a must have along with their fries, and garlic rice.
Good beer and food. Rotating taps carry a variety of interesting local brews.The wings are fantastic.
Incredible service. Amazing beer selection - definitely one of the best in NYC. And the food is awesome, too!
Great beer selection. Good housemade and specialty cocktails. Yummy latkes.
Great beer selection on tap and in cans. Knowledgeable bartenders. Excellent atmosphere.
Great beer selection and the pulled pork sandwich and hanger steak are fantastic.You can always count on jay for a for a good beer rec.
Absolutely amazing experience at Upright - I would recommend the meatballs and chicken piri piri! I will definitely be back!
Great I place to find unique beers in NY. I have been here many times and the bartenders are super nice and knowledgeable
Amazing and ever changing beer selection and delicious crispy greasy high quality pub food, every single time. Worth the 15 minute walk (each way).
Love this place. Great omelettes, friendly staff, overall great addition to the neighborhood. Whoever put this place together knows what theyre doing. I hope time doesnt fade their shine.
Great hot wings and good selection of beers. Outdoor seating is v nice
Strong vibes. Beer selection 10/10. Great staff. Get the clams.
Amazing food and excellent service. We had the most amazing time. Leitão is just a must have!
Great beers, free WiFi, not too busy. Staff was super friendly. Definitely coming back
Great staff and atmosphere. Solid craft beer list and really good food.
Cool space, with lots of good beers, which is the most important thing, they also have coffee.
Great bar with Portuguese food. Cant go wrong! Nuno was a rockstar taking our orders
Great selection of beer, the food is terrific and the atmosphere is classy, comfortable and friendly. Go!
Good tap selection, no casks. The food is bar food, all good. Nice space. Service was just OK. Like this neighborhood.
Went to the basement for a gathering. Ordered literally nothing with no issue by the staff. Really appreciative. Will come back and throw some cash for drinks and food another time.
Food, Drinks and Service were top notch.
Awesome beer selection, nice food and a good atmosphere. a bit pricey although
Super kind waitors and delicious food.
Good beer selection, reasonable food. Had a great date here!
Mika’s the man phenomenal service
Good beer, decent food. Our man Jay is a very competent cicerone. Please inquire within.
Tremendous beer selection, including enough non-hoppy beer to keep everyone happy. They make a BLT that is out of this world.
4.5 - great beer, big juicy burgers. Cute and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend.
Great Happy Hour, with yummy pub food. Not a good place if you are on a diet 😉
Excellent place; very good food; great drinks ; and amazing stuff. Just go
They have a good beer selection but are often out of the best ones.

2022-08-14Walking around in West Village around 10 PM on a Saturday night, we found a few restaurants on the verge of closing. However, determined to find a place we stumbled upon this Portuguese spot. The vibe was very nice- energetic with a hint of mellow. And people seemed to be enjoying themselves a lot. We walked in and were seated immediately for a table for 2.My friend ordered the octopus sandwich and I ordered the chef’s recommendation of rack of lamb. Hesitantly we also ordered drinks, unclear how much we wanted to get hammered and on how much drinking was left in the night.The drinks were Portuguese inspired drinks and were absolutely bomb! But then came the food and the lamb was nothing I’ve ever tasted before! It was incredible. I highly recommend this spot to anyone in the mood to try something different and make it your results spot!

2022-08-15Food was very well executed from appetizer to main dish. Sausage was as good as I had in Porto and the fried cod balls are simply delicious. Service was attentive but not pushy, and they arrange extra for my friend’s birthday after I mentioned it. It was a perfect dinner for both of us.

2022-08-02Wow! What an amazing dinning experience. European vibes starting from the service, which is exceptional, down to the food which is absolutely delicious. Great flavor and did I mention the sauce/broth/gravy?! My god our table was dipping bread in any bowl of food we could get our hands on. Not to mention the stains I brought home on my shirt. That could have been due to the amazing cocktails we had to go with our meal. I would go back and eat there in a heartbeat.

2021-11-28The food is okay. The sausage was delicious, but the rest of it was meh. With all of the food places that NYC has, I would not come back here again. The hosts/owner/waiter were really nice. Gotta give credit where credit is due — the service was wonderful.

2022-02-20Been on the hunt for the really good peri-peri chicken in NYC and I think we found a winner! It was delicious, the closest we found to the one we had in Lisbon.Only downside would be the restaurant itself is so dark and the vibe is reflects that.
